Although its literal meaning is "curly hair", there are many other usages of this term, which are accepted and used by most people. Below are some common usages of the words "Chuan Xin"

"Chuan Xin" is used to refer to one who

- or by insulting people (usually foreigners or strangers) with flippant words

- Experiences frequent mood swings. Loving you one moment, hating you the next

All names used are made up.

Chan Pei Xin 

shes someone you would want to be your girlfriend. (She probably has never dated anyone because she’s waiting for the right one!)

If you find yourself a Chan Pei Xin, consider yourself lucky. She will do anything for you and all she expect for return is your love and sincerely and nothing else.
Chan Pei Xin is not a human.

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
